CPU overclock temp issues
CPU overclock temp issues
Hi,
I'm currently using an i7 4770k and attempting to overclock it. The CPU is getting quite hot, even with the Corsair H110i water cooler installed. I've swapped the fans for Thermaltake Rings Plus RGB fans. Could these fans not be providing enough power to cool the radiator? I'm sitting at 1.15 volts on Vcore and under Prime95 stress testing, I'm seeing temperatures between 80-90 degrees on my Corsair link.
Could this be related to the fans, or is there another issue like poor thermal paste adhesion? Also, do you think the temperature readings are accurate?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
the 4770K faced temperature problems because the TIM Intel used was of poor quality. In many situations, removing the heatsink was necessary to overclock while maintaining lower temperatures on that CPU. The fans don't spin as fast as Corsair models, reaching up to 1500rpm, which should suffice. Verify the temperatures using hwinfo; it might be beneficial to re-seat the cooler with a new TIM layer.
